Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How Animals Work I have carefully avoided all technical terms as far as possible, and endeavoured to tell the story of some of the wonders of Animal Craftsmanship in plain and simple language; for this little book is intended for the general reader, and not for the expert who has a store house of technical literature at his disposal. The very wealth of material from which to draw has been something of an embarrassment, where limited space has made it possible to give only a brief survey of certain forms, making it necessary to be somewhat drastic in the selection of examples. However, my guiding idea in their selection has been to place before the reader, as far as circumstances would permif, the most striking examples, and, at the same time, those which the reader can in a large number of cases see for himself, either during his rambles in the country, or by visiting any well-ordered natural history museum. If these pages should serve to awaken a new interest in the marvels of Nature and the wonderful skill dis played by such varied forms of animal life, and perhaps stimulate the reader to seek himself for further examples, then my labours have not been in vain, and this volume will have justified its existence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Animal Intelligence When I first began to collect materials for this work it was my intention to divide the book into two parts. Of these I intended the first to be concerned only with the facts of animal intelligence, while the second was to have treated of these facts in their relation to the theory of Descent. Finding, however, as I proceeded, that the material was too considerable in amount to admit of being comprised within the limits of a single volume, 1 have made arrangements with the publishers of the 'international Scientific Series to bring out the second division of the work as a separate treatise, under the title 'mental Evolution.' This treatise I hope to get ready for press within a year or two. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Mind in Animals Classic Reprint written by Ludwig Büchner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-12 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mind in Animals I t will naturally be understood that the narrowing of the subject to a relatively small field of Animal Psychology compels the author to use only a very small number out of the many hundreds of facts and observations on the intel lectual life of animals, which have been sent to him from all parts of the world in answer to his public request, and for which he here again returns his public acknowledgment; further, the greater number of these communications give the result, as might be expected, of daily and private observa tions on the more accessible animals. The author therefore ventures to refer his respected correspondents to a later work from his own pen which, as compared with the present book, undertakes a far wider task. He will therein endeavor, by means of a psychological classification, to trace the dif forent affections and manifestations of man's emotional and intellectual life throughout the great circles of the animal world. Here also most of the communications will be found under the names of the several observers, and the author trusts that this will be accepted as his personal acknowledg ment for individual help.

Download or read book The Play of Animals Classic Reprint written by Karl Groos and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Play of Animals It is especially in connection with this latter func tion of play, I may add, that the instinct to imitate comes in to aid it. Imitation is a real instinct, but it is not always playful; play is a real instinct, but it is not always imitative. There is likely, however, to be a great deal of imitation in play, since the occasion on which a particular play-function develops is often that which also develops the imitative tendency as well - i. E., the actual sight or hearing of the acts or voices of other animals. Moreover, the acquisition of a muscular or vocal action through imitation makes it possible to repeat the same action afterwards in play.

To incorporate the results of the numerous papers bearing on the subject of Animal Behaviour which have been published since 1914. Would have meant adding greatly to the size of the book, and as the majority of these contributions revolve round difficult questions of technique, or are somewhat controversial in nature, discussion of them would not have been in place in a short introduction to the subject. One section, however, deals with entirely new matter. The final section of the first edition, which gave an account of the famous 'talking' horses, I have decided to omit from the present edition, and to replace it by a discussion of the Multiple Choice method of Yerkes and the method of study ing perseverance reactions devised by van Hamil ton. As yet these methods have not been widely applied, but it is to be anticipated that they will be considerably developed and extended in the future. For the rest the alterations in the text are chiefly verbal in character. Certain additions have been made to the bibliography. I desire to express my indebtedness to my husband, Mr F. C. Bartlett, for his help in pre paring this new edition for the press. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

To have tried to attribute to its proper source each observation that I have used, or each little piece of half-remembered theory, would have over weighted this book with historical pomp, and puffed out its slight figure to unhealthy repletion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Intelligence in Plants and Animals Nothing is more charming to the mind of man than the study of Nature. Religion, moderation and magnanimity have been made a part of his inner being through her teachings, and the soul has been rescued by her influence from obscurity. No longer doth man grovel in the dust, seeking, animal-like, the gratification of low and base desires, as was his wont, but on the wings of thought is enabled to soar to the very gates of Heaven and hold communion with God. Though made a little lower than the angels, yet, through the mighty play of forces that have been at work in the world, which we, in the latter half of this enlightened century, are just beginning-to recognize and comprehend, he has been lifted from the mire of degra dation and placed upon a higher social, intellectual, moral and spiritual level. Out of the animal, in the scheme Of Deity, the Spiritual system Of things is to be elaborated, and not the animal out of the Spiritual. This natural world, so to speak, is the raw material of the spiritual. Therefore, ere man can understand the Spiritual, he must understand the natural. Though his knowledge was at first about material things, or such as pertained to natural phenomena, yet from this through the ages has been builded, little by little, that mountain-height of knowl edge, intellectual and moral, which, if rightly directed, is to bring him into fellowship with Deity. A's we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly, or, Lord from heaven.
